Gissing is a small rural village and civil parish in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk in England, set amid gently rolling arable countryside within easy reach of the market town of Diss and the city of Norwich. The landscape is typically East Anglian - hedgerows, farmland and scattered woodland - and the local economy traditionally revolves around farming, with growing contributions from tourism and country-house hospitality.
The village has clear historic roots with a medieval church and a notable country house estate, Gissing Hall, which now operates as a hotel and event venue and helps draw visitors to the area. Social life is village-centred, with a strong sense of community, occasional local events and the quieter rhythms typical of small Norfolk parishes; the built heritage and surrounding countryside give it a distinctly historic, pastoral character.
